Product description BETH ORTON Trailer Park (1996 UK 10-track CD album her debut solo album including the singles She Cries Your Name Touch Me With Your Love & Someones Daughter comes with the fold-out picture sleeve inlay HVNLP17CD) Review Over ten years after its release, Beth Orton's mixture of folk and digital jiggery pokery sounds remarkably prescient, especially considering how common this now is, both within and outside the community. Trailer Park remains a classic of its type that has dated less than you may assume.With uncanny timing this 'legacy edition' of Orton's debut arrives barely a month after the passing of one of her biggest influences, John Martyn. For Orton's proto folktronica, was a direct descendant of Martyn's blurring of genre boundaries. Indeed, before this album's release Beth had already recorded a Martyn classic, I Don't Want To Know About Evil, with William Orbit. Trailer Park's amalgamation of beats and acoustic guitars are buoyed up by Ali Friend's double bass and often accompanied by some very pastoral strings. While it adopts dance guises in places - utilising the producer of Primal Scream's Screamadelica, Andrew Weatherall - this is still a very English record.The songs, in the main co-written with Friend and Ted Barnes (both now active in folk outfit Clayhill) are lyrically vague but musically like the equivalent of a big soft duvet. However the opening high water mark of She Cries Your Name (a version very different from the one she had recorded with co-writer, William Orbit) does tend to make everything that follows seem a tad pale. It's the more electronic tracks that have fared best over the years such as Tangent, Touch me With your Love or the closing ten-minute epic, Galaxy Of Emptiness. On quieter tracks the tentative nature of Orton's voice, while often seeming a little flat, displays a haunting tremulousness that sets her apart. Her reading of the Weill and Mann classic, I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine, shows off her guileless vocals to brilliant effect. Only on the poppier Don't Need A Reason or Someone's Daughter does she go badly wrong.The bonus disc gives us the b-sides to the album's singles as well as the Best Bit EP. All are fine additions except for a rather ham-fisted duet with Terry Callier on Fred Neil's Dolphins. But the real gem is the version of Paris Sisters' I Love How You Love Me, recorded for the soundtrack to Mojo. It's dark country twang could be from a David Lynch film.For a generation of clubbers Orton's debut was seen as a pinnacle of trip hop-influenced, late night chilling: it certainly secured her reputation and won two Brit nominations into the bargain. But her writing skills and voice were to both improve immensely over the course of another five albums. But if you're new to her work, Trailer Park is as good a place to start as any. --Chris Jones Find more music at the BBC This link will take you off in a new window

Always like to play this when making a long car journey ...
Always like to play this when making a long car journey down the M11. It chills me out and I'm a big Beth Orton fan. A very nice album indeed and would recommend it to anyone who likes to chill a little while driving the motorway.The Last Days of Thunder Child: Victorian Britain in Chaos!

"...Sometimes I Wonder...Do You Ever Think Of Me..." - Trailer Park: Legacy Edition by BETH ORTON (2009 Heavenly 2CD Remaster)
This 9 March 2009 Remaster of Beth Orton's lovely 1996 debut album is a clever choice for a 2CD Legacy Edition (Heavenly HVNLP17CD-LE - Barcode 886973572221). But with the original CD of "Trailer Park" languishing on this very site for under eighty new English pence and the 5 CD singles that effectively make up Disc 2 costing as little as two pounds - then a person honestly has to be asking - why buy this? The answer for fans is the superlative Remaster on Disc 1 - and for newcomers - the lovely musical revelations on Disc 2.But here's a detailed breakdown of "Trailer Park: Legacy Edition" by BETH ORTON first...Disc 1 (59:41 minutes):1. She Cries Your Name2. Tangent3. Don't Need A Reason4. Live As Your Dream5. Sugarboy6. Touch Me With Your Love7. Whenever8. How Far9. Someone's Daugther10. I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine11. Galaxy Of EmptinessTracks 1 to 11 are her debut album "Trailer Park" issued October 1996 on Heavenly Recordings on LP, Cassette and CD (HVNLP 17, HMVMC 17 and HVNCD 17).Disc 2 (57:49 minutes):1. Safety2. It's Not The Spotlight1 and 2 are on the CD single of "She Calls Your Name" issued May 1977 on Heavenly HVN60CD. 1 is an Orton original, while 2 is a cover version of a song written by BARRY GOLDBERG with lyrics by GERRY GOFFIN (of Goffin & King fame). It turned up as a cover on Bobby Bland's 1973 album "Dreamer" and then two years later Rod Stewart more famously covered it on his "Atlantic Crossing" album.3. Galaxy Of Emptiness [Live at the Sheppard's Bush Empire, 26 Nov 1996]4. Pedestal5. Touch Me With Your Love [Instrumental]3 to 5 are non-album tracks on the CD single of "Touch Me With Your Love" issued January 1997 on Heaven HVN64CD.6. It's This I Am Find6 is a non-album track on the CD single of "Someone's Daughter" issued March 1997 on Heaven HVN65CD.7. Bullet8. Best Bit (Early Version)7 and 8 are non-album tracks on the reissued CD single of "She Calls Your Name" issued June 1997 on Heavenly HVN68CD.9. Best Bit10. Skimming Stone11. Dolphins12. Lean On MeTracks 9 to 12 are the "Best Bit EP" issued in December 1997 on Heavenly HVN72CD. All songs were non-album. "Dolphins" is a FRED NEIL cover (lyrics above), while "Lean On Me" first appeared on an album called "Occasional Rain" from 1972 on Cadet Records. 11 and 12 features American soul icon TERRY CALLIER on duet vocals - 12 is Callier doing his own song.13. I Love How You Love Me13 is a cover version of a PARIS SISTERS song from 1961 written by BARRY MANN and LARRY KOLBER (produced by Phil Spector).MILES SHOWELL at METROPOLIS did the remaster in August 2008 and it's a beautiful job. If I was to say what's better - it's the rhythm section - suddenly the bass and drums are there - and with more muscle than before. This isn't a loud remaster for the sake of it because when I play the old version against this, the difference is much more subtle than that - things are amplified, but not overly so. Highlights for me are "Don't Need A Reason" and the wonderful clarity of "Sugar Boy".But the real shock is the quality of Disc 2. Putting all the non-album sides and EP tracks together on one disc is an obvious approach for a reissue, but man - the results! Played all the way through, the coherence of the tracks makes it sound some long lost beautiful album - it just 'so' works. The "Best Bit EP" with the two TERRY CALLIER duets have long been fan favourites. "Lean On Me" is more soul-bliss than an average soul can stand - and it still floors me as to how beautifully matched their two different voices are. I might risk an assassination attempt on my life here (such is the affection the album is held in), but I'm tempted to say that Disc 2 is arguably far better than Disc 1? Whatever way you look at it, the listener is on a musical winner here.So there you have it - for fans there's the beautiful new sound quality - and for newcomers there's a superb debut on Disc 1 with a fantastically complimentary album's worth on Disc 2.A great little reissue then - and at under seven coins from most online retailers - this is stunning value for money...

mixed and well short of her best
This mixed album is, for me, another step down from the excellence of Central Reservation. Her lovely earthy voice shines through best with simplicity, and whilst she can do a good trancy dance sound, this album all too often resorts to silly electronic sounds that perhaps try to obscure a lack of good basic songwriting originality. The simpler songs on this album likewise display a lack of originality, sometimes resorting to rather average musical cliches. The lovely personal touch found on Central Reservation is here not nearly so evident, and the trancy final track is miles short of the trance-dance track on that album. This album is an unimpressive average affair overall.Though it by no means is bad, it takes me nowhere at all.
